Terms not announced, but MLS site says for a goalkeeper leaving MLS, it's the largest ever transfer fee. According to my research, previous record was Tim Howard to Man United for $4.788 million.

Technically correct. Add in inflation and id be surprised if the undisclosed fee is more than Howard’s if leveled out. In the years since Howard was transferred, EPL purses have ballooned 10x or more with what teams pay - even mediocre guys get crazy transfers.

You have to wonder if Atlanta also got a handshake deal not to draft any of its players.

maybe no?

Darren Eales tells Dukes and Bell on 92.9 The Game "we knew we were going to be losing someone today" in the expansion draft process.Says he was "really pissed off" that FC Cincinnati's manager revealed the trade before the club could acknowledge Garza.

calling it right now: This is nothing more than City Football group attempt to circumvent @MLS transfer protocol and Steffen will be loaned out to @NYCFC for several season. Either way, this is a terrible move by Steffan IMO and will stunt his development

yeah taking him out of MLS and then loaning him back is a bad move, uh, cause it will stunt his development, so, uh, um, leave him in MLS? what? damned if you do damned if you don't.

seem like mostly fan takes. and i think its people who dont really follow MLS. We have SJ multi year contract. I dont think Steffen is really much better, hes younger can still develop but it wont happen loaning him back to MLS.

FC Cincinnati definitely being more proactive building a squad compared to when Minnesota United joined MLS.

interesting i actually said they were like Minnesota based on the expansion draft but seems like today made it seem like not so. No where near ATL or even LAFC but better than Minnesota ( and maybe even us ( minus villa) in 2015)
